  1. 1

    A hairy body, and arms stiff with bristles, give promise of a manly soul.

    Juvenal
    Men
  2. 2

    A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly.

    Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
    Men
  3. 3

    A true man hates no one.

    Napoleon Bonaparte
    Men
  4. 4

    A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men. Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.

    Camille Paglia
    Men
  5. 5

    All men are two meters tall... give or take a meter.

    Men
  6. 6

    All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.

    Germaine Greer
    Men
  7. 7

    Because it is in the nature of things that they become extreme, we have passed down from manliness to cruelty. If I had been told when I was 20 that there was a tavern in the town where the brave and the cruel were gathered together, I would have run all the way and I would have gone up to the largest and leatheriest of the denizens and said: If you truly love me, kill the bartender.

    Quentin Crisp
    Men
  8. 8

    Before they're plumbers or writers or taxi drivers or unemployed or journalists, before everything else, men are men. Whether heterosexual or homosexual. The only difference is that some of them remind you of it as soon as you meet them, and others wait for a little while.

    Marguerite Duras
    Men
  9. 9

    Considering the absence of legal coercion, the surprising thing is that men have for so long, and, on the whole, so reliably, adhered to what we might call the breadwinner ethic.

    Barbara Ehrenreich
    Men
  10. 10

    During the feminist seventies men were caught between a rock and a hard-on; in the fathering eighties they are caught between good hugs and bad hugs.

    Florence King
    Men
  11. 11

    How beautiful maleness is, if it finds its right expression.

    D. H. Lawrence
    Men
  12. 12

    How dwarfed against his manliness she sees the poor pretension, the wants, the aims, the follies, born of fashion and convention!

    John Greenleaf Whittier
    Men
  13. 13

    I go for two kinds of men. The kind with muscles, and the kind without.

    Mae West
    Men
  14. 14

    I only like two kinds of men; domestic and foreign.

    Mae West
    Men
  15. 15

    I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.

    Dorothy Parker
    Men
  16. 16

    I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers -- because males have got to try and justify their existence.

    Orson Welles
    Men
  17. 17

    I'm not the man to balk at a low smell, I not the man to insist on asphodel. This sounds like a He-fellow, don't you think? It sounds like that. I belch, I bawl, I drink.

    Edith Sitwell
    Men
  18. 18

    In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.

    Andrea Dworkin
    Men
  19. 19

    It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.

    François de La Rochefoucauld
    Men
  20. 20

    It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.

    Gertrude Stein
    Men
  21. 21

    It is much more easy to accuse the one sex than to excuse the other.

    Michel de Montaigne
    Men
  22. 22

    Left to itself the masculine imagination has very little appreciation for the here and now; it prefers to dwell on what is absent, on what has been or may be. If men are more punctual than women, it is because they know that, without the external discipline of clock time, they would never get anything done.

    W. H. Auden
    Men
  23. 23

    Man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid of.

    George Bernard Shaw
    Men
  24. 24

    Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.

    Norman Mailer
    Men
  25. 25

    Men always talk about the most important things to perfect strangers. In the perfect stranger we perceive man himself; the image of a God is not disguised by resemblances to an uncle or doubts of wisdom of a mustache.

    G. K. Chesterton
    Men
